GW Micro Announces ReadEasy MoveThe market. Companies that make adaptive equipment are not in it for the money, or so I have heard. Think about it. WE costs about $1000 to purchase up front, and another $150 per upgrade when they are released. Unless the population of blind persons suddenly goes up, and people are in mass need of products like these, the price will stay up,. I purchased a KNFB version 1 reader, before it was downscaled to a cellphone format, and it cost the Lyon's club of my town around $3250 to purchase. My question is how is the OCR ability.? The KNFB reader was horrible, as are most modern day OCR programs hooked to a flattop scanner.
